Jamie Squire/Getty Images(CHICAGO) — The drought is finally over for the Chicago Cubs.
After defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, the Cubs will advance to the World Series for the first time since the Truman administration in 1945.
The team will face off against the Cleveland Indians with Game 1 of the Series starting on Tuesday at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cubs have not won a championship in 108 years and the Indians last won a title in 1948.
“Even last year we knew we had the group to do it we matured we learned a lot,” Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta said after the historic win. “Our young players grew up extremely quick and that’s why we’re here.”
